It's not very often that I crave Chinese Food but today I was really in the mood for a comforting Chinese noodle dish. My husband who is obsessed with Chinese food couldn't have been happier! Lucky for him. Ha. If you like foods that pack a punch, then you have to give this dish a try!

Meanwhile, in large saucepan cook noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain noodles well and return to saucepan. Drizzle with remaining sesame oil. Add in the veggies and once heated through add in chicken mixture and veggies. Toss to combine. Top with sliced green onions. Enjoy!

In a large skillet, brown ground beef until no longer pink in the center. Drain. Add enchilada sauce, green chile's, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup of the salsa. Stir and place over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in corn and black beans.

Spread remaining salsa into bottom of 9x13 dish. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles.. Spread 1/2 of the filling from the skillet over the noodles. Top with half the cheese. Repeat.

Cover loosely with foil and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and pasta is tender.

I'm really spicing things up this week when it comes to our dinners. This is another great recipe that contains two of my favorites, chili and pasta. You can't go wrong with one pot meals that are ready in under 30 minutes!

In a large skillet brown meat. Drain and add in the chili seasoning, tomatoes, corn/pepper blend, and beef broth. Bing to a boil and add in the pasta. Cover and cook for 8 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stirring often. Stir in cheese. Garnish with additional cheese, cilantro, green onions, sour cream or any of your favorite chili toppings. Enjoy!

Spicy foods...oh, how I love you! I love everything spicy and luckily so does my husband so I knew this would be right up his ally! A simple five ingredient dish that is packed with spicy goodness. A great way to spice up ordinary chicken!

Saute garlic in olive oil for about one minute. Add in cream cheese and half and half. Whisk until smooth. Slowly whisk in mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Once combined let simmer 1-2 minutes. Toss hot cooked pasta in cheese mixture and top with extra grated parmesan and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

This is one of my all time favorite chicken dishes. It's simple and easy and the crock pot does all the work for you. It's a perfect weeknight meal that I used to make a lot back when I was working. The red pepper flakes gives it a nice spicy kick, which I love!

Place chicken in the crock pot. Season with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the soy sauce and teriyaki. Pour over chicken. Add in your pineapple. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Serve over rice. Enjoy!

Last week while in Florida I was eating Seafood non stop. I would've thought a weeks worth of fish would feed my craving, but apparently not as I am making Salmon for dinner tonight! I normally grill salmon but considering it's 15 degrees outside and my grill is covered in snow, I've opted for a roasted version instead. This Salmon was so easy to prepare and packed with flavor!

Place the salmon fillets in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil, chopped garlic, and lemon juice. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon.

Roast the salmon for 12 minutes or until cooked in the center at the thickest part. Allow to rest for five minutes and serve with additional fresh lemons. Enjoy!

It's been a while since I've posted but I'm back with a new recipe! It's always hard to get back into the swing of things after being on vacation. Florida was great but now it's back to reality and back to the cold! (yuck) Tonight we are warming up with this Fire Roasted Rigatoni. It's so easy and delish. You can't go wrong with a spicy pasta!

In a large pan brown beef, drain and season with garlic, salt, red pepper and oregano. Add in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and fire roasted tomatoes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir in the parmesan cheese.

Evenly top sauce over the hot cooked pasta. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!

It's no surprise to most that I have a crazy taco obsession. My husband on the other hand does not. I tried to meet him halfway with this Southwest Taco Skillet. Yes, it has a lot of your taco components but in a skillet instead. It's healthy, easy, and delish! The hubby agreed!

In a large skillet brown the meat. Drain and add your dry seasonings and skillet sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top and then crushed tortilla chips. Top with shredded lettuce if, desired and any other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

I've had a pork tenderloin in the freezer that I needed to use and instead of the usual pulled pork sandwiches or tacos, I decided to mix things up with this Crock Pot Honey Balsamic Pork Roast. I love Balsamic Vinegar and have made similar recipes using Chicken and Beef but never with Pork. I've been missing out because this roast was fantastic! Moist and fall apart tender. Delish!

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it's 2016! I hope you all had a great Holiday. We did but it certainly went by quickly! Tonight's dinner is an old favorite. The only change I made was using Hot Italian Sausage instead of mild since we like things spicy. A simple, yet delicious, dinner!
